We were discussing the change in season and the children were telling me how fall is different from summer.
This was the three to five year old class and they were giving me the correct answers. The leaves change colour and then they fall off the trees and then…One little girl shouted out at the top of her lungs. “And then they’re completely naked! I saw three completely naked trees when I was coming to library!” The other children were very quiet and then one little boy said: “But they don’t mean to be naked. They just are!” I had to stop the conversation at that because who knows where it would have led.
